The grip on his neck became very unyielding as he struggled to breathe. The man realized that he had been outsmarted by someone he underestimated. His neck felt like snapping in half before he properly held the handle of his weapon and swung it out like a battle axe.

He swung the knife in a different direction behind his back, trying his best to make Louis let go of him. His failure to pinpoint his exact position made him thrust the tip of the knife close to his neck forcing Louis to finally let go. He quickly moved his feet forward and turned to his back, gasping for air.

He was met with a deafening blow from Louis that sent him falling to the ground with a loud thud. A kick at his waist, sent him groaning in pain, followed by a punch at his chest. Louis didn't give his stalker an opportunity to recover from his hits. He sent more to his face, venting his previous anger and discomfort that the man caused him.

The man still lay on the ground, dazed and injured, when he felt Louis turn

    Louis let go of Don and stepped back, filled with guilt for his ruthless behavior. He staggered at the sight of Don, bleeding profusely from his lips. He couldn't believe he did something like this to a human. He felt obligated to set him free but couldn't tell what Don's action was going to be next. The knife was still somewhere around him and he wasn't going to give into his sentiments only to get injured by a merciless man. So Louis just watched him writhe in pain as he waited for the police to find him. “I hope your time in jail teaches you to respect the life of others instead of treating it like it doesn't matter compared to yours” Louis managed to voice out when Don stopped groaning. They looked at each other, with no clue as to what the other one thought, but they knew how it was going to end for them.“Master!” Queen screamed with concern. She ran closer to him with other muscled men by her side, Louis feared she might tumble down because of her extremely long heels that sh

    The anger in Louis' tone answered the questions in her head. The command that her master gave her would literally end Lord Kelly's company, even though Kelly was one of the richest men in their state. Without the money that Twin Tower lent him, he wouldn't have been in the discussion of the richest.She pushed herself to ask a question with her hands raised high.“Is there a problem?” Louis uttered, still fuming with the anger that reignited in his chest.“Not a problem, just wanted to know something”“Know what?” He queried her.She deliberated on whether to go through with what she had in mind.“Whatever, I should tell him anyway” Queen exclaimed in her mind “Sir, telling lord Kelly to pay up his debt would end his company” she uttered almost inaudibly.“I don't care but why do you say so”His eyes flared up for a quick response from her. It appeared that the sentence Queen had just uttered was what he actually wanted for them. Louis had already concluded that If they were brave en

    Putting up a stance in his decision instead of flip-flopping was one of the personalities that made Louis stand out when giving an order. He arrived at his company before Queen, waiting patiently for her to show him what he ordered her to do before she sent it to Lord Kelly.The safe in his office caught his attention. It stayed there, quiet in a corner and almost fully camouflaged with the room. Queen had told him about the safe, but he thought it only contained the top-secret budget of the company that his former predecessor tucked away to avoid attracting massive tax payments. He changed his sitting posture to face the direction of the Safe. It was a battle of the strongest will, between Louis and the vault. The contents of the safe remained unaware to him and it was like he was being pulled by it. “This is ridiculous; I need to know what's in there,” His patience in waiting until Queen walked in grew very thin, and his curiosity won over patience. The fact that he had never once

    The way he pulled his drawer like his life depended on it, amazed Queen. He raised the drive to show that it was still safe where it had been. The only thing he prayed for at the moment was for the drive to work well. Without wasting any of his precious time, he speedily inserted it into his laptop.The files that popped up surprised him but he breezed through most of the names on the files until he got to the one that contained the code to the safe. “YES!” Louis exclaimed in excitement and rushed back to the safe to unlock it. He pressed the right digits and it unlocked with a vibrating click. Louis pulled the handle and froze at the documents that were stacked on each other. They were all arranged with stamps and various names of companies written in different colors. His instincts pushed him to bring out all the documents while Queen shifted back quietly to avoid prying into information that was kept away from her with good intentions. Louis squatted and read the names inscribed

    “Look at the time, it's almost midnight. Were you expecting me to sit back and applaud your return? You got everyone worried,” Annabelle complained. She placed her right hand on her waist and opened her left palm as a gesture to act out her disappointment. “Sheldon almost stayed up past his bedtime because he wanted to see you,” she continued.Lord Kelly turned his neck to her direction revealing his very drowsy eyes that needed to hit the sack. He yawned loudly before opening his mouth to speak. “I'm here already, aren't I? I'll kiss him goodnight before I go to bed. Is that okay with you?” He said half asleep, leaning on a wall for support.Annabelle stopped her complaints and gave him a sullen look. It was pointless arguing with him because she knew he was too drunk to even remember if they argued when they would go their separate ways.“Yes. I'd like that” she mumbled. She crossed her arms and kept frowning her face as she watched her husband stagger helplessly away from her with

    Kelly's time alone in his car felt like an eternity; his troubled soul longed for an explanation of what he was about to meet at his office. He looked out of his window and the speed that his driver drove with became too slow for him.“I thought I told you to drive faster” Kelly questioned, his voice loud and sharp with a stern expression.“I already did; I'm almost driving faster than the speed limit, sir,” the driver replied, feeling confused at his harsh expression.“Who gives a damn about speed limits, Drive faster, I don't have all day”“Yes sir” With the command of his boss, they got to his company in a little time. Kelly rushed into one of his elevators and quickly got to the top floor where his office was. His secretary paced around the entrance with an envelope in her hands. Kelly scanned the envelope in her hands and noticed the seal on it. It wasn't opened, but from the red colored stamp on the tip of the envelope, he sniffed that trouble was waiting for him.“I'm here, wh

    “Sir” Kelly whispered out of fear. He had begun to realize how erroneous it was of him to barge into his office unannounced. A death stare on Louis' face heightened the tension he felt in his chest.“Who gave you the right to barge into my office? Something must be wrong with you and I can see that now. Security!” Louis shouted, pointing his fingers at Kelly in a violent manner.“Please sir, I beg you. Give me a chance to explain myself,” Kelly begged; he didn't know why Louis had this much animosity towards him. His head kept going to their misunderstanding at the hospital, but he was certain he cleared him of every disrespect his wife must have caused him.“What do you have to say for yourself? If you are not here to give me my money, then I don't want to see you,” Louis scoffed at him.“I don't know why you're asking for your money all of a sudden, but please the deadline is too short. At this rate, I'll come crashing down to utter smithereens, please reconsider me. I'll do everyth

    “Kel, tell them to stop. Why are you just standing there, what is wrong with you? Are you just going to watch them empty our possessions without saying a word?” Annabelle shouted, vigorously shaking him to make him active.Her face spelled terror, standing next to Lord Kelly. The unloading of their property made her take excessive deep breaths to stop the pain in her chest. The cries of Sheldon, infuriated her as she was at a loss of what was happening.“Kelly, tell me what is going on, why were you in the news? If you were going bankrupt, you should have at least told me. How are you going to take care of me and your child? We are going to suffer if you don't do something about this,” she cried at the top of her voice Lord Kelly just looked at her and brushed her aside, entering inside to see what they left him with. He was grateful for the house he was left with; some of their personal belongings were still intact. Annabelle rushed in with him demanding an answer with wet eyes that

    Louis' eyes almost bulged out of his eye sockets, his hands tweaked In disgust as his feet vibrated to move away from his position. “Nobody told me Greg was this insensible,” Louis muttered to himself. He couldn't believe the words that just slipped out of his mouth; they were shards of glasses that were waiting to be stepped upon.“Greg,” Louis called out confidently “Please, I want you to understand that I am not forcing anybody to work with me,” he stared intently at him.“What I simply said is, as a new team I thought we would do the collaboration between ourselves. You know, to avoid indecision and make it easier for us as a team,”His words were like darts that launched straight into the scoreboard. It corrected Greg's notion but it wasn't sharp enough to make him utter an apology.“Okay, I've noted it,” Greg uttered, prompting more response from Louis.“This isn't what you should be knowing now, we are supposed to grasp this already,” Silence filled their atmosphere as shame

    “I'm guessing you are the third person of this group,” Mrs Kimberly continued “I am whatever you want me to be in this group. The second man, the third member,” Greg leaned close to her ears, but fixing his eyes on Louis “I can even be the master of this team,”She chuckled lightly, flashing her eyes at Louis “Can you call me when it's time for the ultimate showdown,”They kept laughing; Mrs Kimberly appeared to be having a good time with Greg while Greg enjoyed being close to her. Louis got tired of seeing them whisper words to each other. He furrowed his eyebrows and pretended to cough while pointing at the empty seats.“Kimberly, welcome.” Louis voiced “It's good to see you. I don't want to keep you both standing, so can we take a seat,”She exchanged glances at Greg and Louis before walking towards one of the chairs. Greg appeared to be displeased by Louis who sat between them. He signalled to Louis to scoot over to the left chair but the purpose of Louis forming the alliance was

    “So when can I get to meet my fellow ally,” she winked at him.“We will be having a meeting tomorrow. I don't know if you'd be available, but it is our first meeting, and it is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 10 am."Mrs Kimberly's eyes lit up with excitement as she nodded slowly. "I'll be there," she said. "Where are we going to have it?"Louis smiled confidently at her. "I have booked a room at the Drickons Hotel just a few blocks away.”Mrs Kimberly nodded. Her mind raced with the thoughts of who the last person was, but she stopped herself from asking Louis. Instead, she resolved to wait for an official introduction.Moreover, she already decided to look her best when the day comes."I will make sure I arrive before any of you,” she quipped, but her voice lingered with a hint of determination.Louis finished his conversation with her and waited for Mrs Kimberly to ask him any questions that bothered her but she had none for the moment.It was time Louis took his leave after comp

    “No, trust me. It is not because of that,” he revealed “Then what? I told you I would like to join, so why are you rejecting me?”“I'm not rejecting you. I just don't want to force you into anything,”“How is that forcing me? Did you plan to hold a gun against my head?” She asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm.Kimberly, with a blur of desperation in her eyes, leaned forward to Louis “I know you must have heard everything that came out of my mouth, but I am willing to make my first try with you,”He raised a brow at her, skeptical of her forced statement “Why would you do that? I told you already, you don't have to because I'm not forcing you,”Mrs Kimberly inhaled deeply and raised her shoulders “I have seen the huge things you can do as a CEO of a little company like yours. How you raised it to compete at this level, and I can boldly ask you how many of your peers can claim to reach the success you have in such a short time,”“You helped me get my treasured buildings back from th

    “She came begging me to collaborate with her,” Mrs Kimberly revealed “Just imagine the imp’s audacity,”Louis couldn't bring himself to tell her that he was here for the same reason. He could not believe that the person whom he had spent hours finding reasons not to add to his alliance hated them. And now it seems Louis needed her to control Greg's mouth.“What human being in their right mind would beg someone they tried to attack in the past? I could have smacked her teeth out but was busy pretending to be cool with her,”Mrs Kimberly rolled her eyes and pointed to the middle of the hall“There's more?” Louis asked, surprised at her decline. She hated alliances with all her bones in her body and she made sure to show Louis.“That man in a white suit,” she said.”Forget about his angelic act. That man is a demon and a lapdog to Chris,” She walked closer to Louis like she was about to whisper, “He came to me and pleaded I work with him, but I declined. I hope he fails this round of the

    “So what do you say, Greg?” Louis interrupted his fantasy. “Are you ready to join my alliance?”Greg's eyes burned with desire, he shone his eyes at Louis, nodding his head in quick motion.“Yeah, I will,” he smiled “You gotta introduce me to Mrs Kimberly,” Louis shrugged at his statement. “I hope you know she's married and living happily,” Louis interjected. “Why are you interested in meeting her?” “It's nothing, I just liked her since the day she caught my eye,” Greg said “Those eyes of yours shouldn't be catching anything that has already been claimed,” Louis warned for his good.“These eyes can catch whatever they want, as long as I can afford it,” Greg replied Louis cracked up at his statement, his laughter echoed through the restaurant. He found it amusing that Greg thought he could charm Mrs Kimberly, yet more thinking she couldn't take care of herself. If she demanded a price, Louis could confidently bet a million that Greg would not be able to meet up.“Whatever you say,

    Was Mrs Kimberly a good person to associate with? He wondered. Was she worth any trouble? And if he turned out she was actually devious, would he be able to protect her?It also puzzled Louis why he never thought of this; maybe it was his instincts.“Desperate times call for desperate measures,” Louis stated. He decided to add Mrs Kimberly as part of his future alliance. He hoped they would work in his favor and never backstab him.The day went by without Louis making up his mind about his pick for the designs, but he was resolved to decide who would form his alliance.The next day, Louis went to a location to meet up with Greg. It marked the second time he waited for him. Louis subtly prayed for Greg to put any thought of wearing disguises aside. He wasn't in a mood to attract attention, especially when people knew who Greg was.However, to Louis' dismay, there was Greg dressed in casual wear at a five-star restaurant. The address was sent to him an hour after their last call, making

    “I told you I need to see our record sale,” Louis stated before she walked out.That was the documents she came to compile early in the morning before she got distracted by the works of their guards. She gnashed her teeth in fear and cooked up an excuse in her head.“Yes, master. I'm on it, I just need to extract the file before sending them to you,”She rushed out before he could reply. She did not want to give him a chance to fish out the threads from her lie.“Extraction!” Louis muttered, wondering if he heard her right. He left her to whatever excuse she gave him and busied himself with a portfolio of designs that was on his table. His company, Twin Tower, recently won an innovation award and was one step ahead of crossing another milestone. Due to this, they planned to do a new branding of their products and they needed his final decision. Those designs had slept on his table for more than three weeks, but he still didn't feel like picking a choice at all.He stared at the diff

    She begged for Louis to take her words seriously, to trust her when she said she had handled it to a certain extent.“I can feel the temptation to add this to your cart but you must consider yourself,”Louis stared at Queen, giving her words a thought. Everything sounded like facts to him but he couldn't hold himself from handling his problem. His fingers itched to get busy and his conscience wanted a dismissal of her pleas. However, deep down in his heart, he wanted to see if Queen had what it took to hold true to her words. With a grudge filled heart and a reply that felt like the weight of the world, crumpled upon it, muffling the volume of his voice.“Okay, thank you very much,” Louis uttered.Queen gaped at him, thinking Louis gave her a response to another question. She asked again if Louis would fuss over the situation but Louis gave her the same half-hearted response.“Gosh!” She exclaimed, brushing her hair to the side. “I didn't know you'd agree so easily,”Louis kept silen
